1. Hi richpulubi! How long have you been a PMT Forum member? Share to us how you discovered PinoyMoneyTalk.

Wow, mga 2007 ata...

2. Why did you choose the username "richpulubi"?

richpulubi cuz, in order to be rich, spend like a pulubi...also, never think you're rich, cuz it's always better to aspire for higher heights.

3. What things do you like about the PMT Forum?

PMT is wonderful cuz here, you can get the pure, unadulterated truth. No pretences, no titles, no preconceptions. But you have to be careful, cuz the 'truth' comes in many forms, and depends on how the person would like it to be! It also give you a window into the world considered so taboo in polite conversations...the topic of money and our love or hate of it.

4. Tell us something interesting that we don't know about you.

That I'm a prepper.

5. What are your hobbies or special interests?

I love talking to people, learning how they suceeded, what it is that inspires them. I love history, cuz it teaches you how to invest.

6. What is your ultimate goal in life?

To see my kids successful.

7. How do you make money? Share to us your sources of income so we can be inspired as well.

Look for oppurtunities that others have missed. Don't go with the flow. Never get into a fair fight. Find an advantage first.

8. Can you tell us tips or suggestions that guide you in order to succeed financially?

Why do I get the feeling that he needs to get tortured before he really talks# Sampol nga.

Prepper- in general, on all fronts, as in it's your acquired discipline or are we talking some other kind of prepper, too? Please, please answer kindly or I'm gonna ask who is your Hollywood crush male/female

Me, I'm only preparing(prepping) for a Yolanda hitting Manila, or an earthquake like in Bohol. And also, the eventual decline of the US and the US dollar, which has so far been postponed by the continuing QE.

Marami na akong itinayo at sinara tsong. I used to have a pharmaceutical manufacturing, pero sinara ko na. I was into retail, sinara ko na rin. Now, more on healthcare services. I'm exploring new potetial businesses for the coming intergration of the ASEAN countries.

Any suggestion? Ay naku, no matter how crazy! Sometimes this is where the best ideas come from!

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
